Default Chipped ebay k04???

I want to know if anyone has bought the ebay k04 and has chipped it with the k04 program. will it work ? will the power gain be the same as the kkk k04? Im thinking just because its not akkk turbo doesnt mean that itcannot work. If the dimensions are exactly the same as the original k04 wont it work the same?

They are from china and dont use the same quality parts or build methods. When you have something that isnt balanced and spining over 100k rpms, nothing good can come of this.

do it, the explosion will be fricken sick man
seeing shards of your compressor housing fly through the hood is something everyone needs to experience !

dont do that to your car.. just spend a few hundred more and get an actual k04

or consider a g-popshop k04 if you need to save a few bucks. I did, great guys, great service, great quality, etc. I'll let you know when I finish the install.
